Sport For Life 2026

Summary of progress April 2025 - March 2026.

Sport For Life 2026 is our annual review. It covers the seventh year of our corporate strategy, Sport for Life.

Between April 2025 and March 2026, Scottish sport continued to deliver, demonstrating the powerful impact of our coaches, volunteers, athletes and clubs.

Sport inspired at every level, from top performing athletes to those helping local communities thrive. We saw activity from major events like the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games to our Active Schools programme, which ensures every young person can enjoy the benefits of sport and physical activity.

This annual review therefore aims to demonstrate our progress against the outcomes in Sport For Life between 1 April, 2025 and 31 March, 2026. Through personal stories we also highlight the impact of our collaborative work with partners across the system.
